In a sea of nameless faces

It felt like at Hope I could walk anywhere on campus and almost guarantee that I'd see someone I knew. I don't get that feeling at Purdue. Now that's probably because I know an infinitesimally small percentage of the student population, but it still feels like you are just another face in the crowd.

But today walking back to my building, I ran into a student from last semester and we chatted for like 5 minutes about our semesters, spring break, his exams and my teaching schedule. It was just so refreshing to see someone I recognized and feel like someone remembered me.

Basically it made my day and he was a really nice kid. Now I'm rememorizing ATP production and lipid transport, but I fell asleep on the couch for a couple minutes because I'm sleepy.

In other news - it's Nate's birthday! So give him a call or drop him a line and wish him Happy 23rd!

City champs

 Cross country season is officially over. Last night was city finals and Blackhawk girls finished first. We took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th place. Evelyn ran 14:56, so about 10 seconds off her PR.  She was 32nd overall out of 64 girls.  Her place counted for her team which she was happy about. The boys did good too and finished in second place overall.

Last weekend

 Last weekend was a busy one. I had the Fort4Fitness, Evelyn had a cross country invitational in Huntington and Jameson had two soccer games in Middlebury. All on Saturday! Friday I spent all afternoon at the F4F expo. The weather was lovely so that was nice. When it was busy, the time passed quickly. When it was slow, there were still enough people that I wasn’t totally bored.  Evelyn had a great run and PR’ed with at time of 14:40.  It was an early morning for them as she had to be at the meet by 8:40. But that was better for us since Jameson’s games were into the afternoon.  I had a decent half marathon. I ran 2:10:30 which is slower than I’d like but I’ve also been dealing with a nagging right knee problem. So I honestly was thankful I could run and run the race without much discomfort.  I was fast enough to get home, shower and eat lunch before we left for soccer. Jameson’s team won the first game 0-1 and tied the second 1-1. He scored both the goals. ...

Futsal

 It’s futsal season. Jameson had his first game tonight. It’s all just intra club fun meant to help the players develop and practice over the winter. Parents only have to help during games with subbing but we also got Evelyn to help run the scoreboard.
